THREAD: Today we voted on a nominee—Matthew Kacsmaryk—whose career has been defined by opposition to the rights of LGBT Americans. He has argued against marriage equality, offensively described the transgender community and defended discrimination against same-sex couples.

Additionally, Mr. Kacsmaryk has argued that being transgender is a “delusion.” He also signed onto a letter claiming that transgender people are suffering from a “psychological condition in need of care,” and are “not a category of persons in need of special legal protection.”

Given the positions he has taken in litigation and the inflammatory comments he has made in his personal capacity, I am concerned Mr. Kacsmaryk will not bring the temperament needed to demonstrate respect for ALL litigants. I cannot support his nomination.
